Chapter 128, siege engines
As a player whose original plan was to defend the city, you don't have to be stupid enough to farm in the city, you have to know your worst enemy, or what can pose a threat to you, is the siege machine!
As an experienced veteran driver, Luo Ji has obviously studied this part well, and under the operation and development of players, even in ancient times, it is not difficult to get some siege equipment.
One of the simplest siege rams is the battering ram, which is the thing that is held by a large group of people and then desperately hits the city wall, that is the most primitive battering ram, to put it bluntly, it is the main trunk of a sharpened tree, very simple, and at the same time very bulky, in the chaotic battlefield, they generally have not had time to get close to the city gate, and the unlucky child who is responsible for holding the battering ram will be planted halfway because of an arrow in the knee.
Later, in order to overcome the shortcomings of the battering ram, they thought of building a small car to transport the battering ram, and so far, this siege machine that has occupied an important position in the entire era of cold weapons has officially debuted!
As mentioned above, the overall structure of the siege vehicle is actually not complicated, but it does not affect the huge pressure it brings to Luo Ji! Is his gates stronger, or are siege engines more destructive? He didn't want to try it at all!
After confirming that Zhou Kai's advancing troops were within range of the slingers, Luo Ji waved his hand and directly signaled the slingers to start attacking, and the heavy stone bullets drew dense arcs in the air with continuous whistling sounds, and then crossed the ancient city wall and smashed towards the invaders outside.
"All raise their shields and advance!" Zhou Kai, as a player who likes to fight invasion battles, is obviously no stranger to siege warfare, he has been prepared for a long time, a row of shield axe soldiers directly raised their shields to the top, and even the six soldiers who were responsible for pushing the siege vehicles were in a posture of raising their shields with one hand, which can be said to be experienced.
However, even so, he had miscalculations, and the stone bullets smashed on the shield were simply weighty, this kind of attack was completely different from the attack of arrows, in the terminology of their game, it was the difference between a blunt weapon attack and a piercing attack, and a blunt attack pierced armor!
Even if they were resisted by the shield, the heavy attack of the stone bullet had a noticeable impact on them, and the dense impact made every warrior holding the shield feel that the hand holding the shield was about to lose consciousness, greatly slowing down their advance speed, which was something that the archers could never do, and the slinger really made Luo Ji play a miracle.
Looking at the invaders who were struggling under the suppression of his slingers, Luo Ji, who was standing on the sentry tower, was overjoyed, the skill book that the gold-level slingers were proficient in was not bought in vain! Just rush this effect, it's definitely worth it!!
On the other hand, Zhou Kai outside the city, at this time, the expression on his face was full of disbelief, the long-range suppression of the slingers on the opposite side was a bit fierce, it was completely different from the ones he had encountered before, it actually made him feel like he was moving forward against the rain of bullets, which was really alive!
The powerful long-range suppression made the troops under his command hesitate to suffer a blow, and the entire morale dropped to a certain extent, making Zhou Kai's face ugly for a while, "Damn!" Could it be that Lao Tzu is going to plant again? Planting twice in the hands of one person, what kind of international joke is this!? ”
If the previous defeat can be attributed to the other party's intrigues, then this time, he is killing and attacking the city with dignity, and the other party is also fighting a battle to defend the city.
"Don't panic, everyone! With such a dense attack, their stone bullets won't last long! Raise your shield, protect the siege engine, and give me a top! After breaking through the city gates, there is nothing to fear from the slingers! "While calming people's hearts, Zhou Kai decisively launched the 'morale-boosting' skill and pulled a wave of morale.
At the same time, Luo Ji, who was standing on the sentry tower, was not idle, and the command of the slingers was directly handed over to Zhao Pan, basically he didn't need to worry, and Luo Ji, who had time out, quickly commanded the members of the archer army to climb the sentry tower.
In a city defense battle, as the defender of the city, if the opponent sends siege equipment, how should it be dealt with? It's as simple as suppressing the advance speed of the enemy's large forces with a wide range of attacks, and then killing the siege engines with precision strikes!
It's a pity that his three-bow bed crossbow hasn't been completed yet, otherwise he would have directly thrown them into a string with the car and people, and everything would have been saved.
"All archers, aim at those who are pushing the siege engines and shoot them!" At the sound of an order, the archers who boarded the watchtower opened their bows and arrows.
Due to the limited space of the watchtower, those who can stand up are basically the most outstanding archery skills in the archer troops, plus there are a large range of long-range suppression by the slingers to cover for them, and now standing on a high place to release arrows, there is not much pressure on them, one by one sharp arrows mixed in the sky of stone bullets, shooting towards the invaders who pushed the siege engine!
After two rounds of arrows, an intruder who was pushing the siege vehicle forward was hit by an arrow in the abdomen on the spot and fell to the ground, Zhou Kai's face was ugly for a while, since just now, the injured people have always been the people under his hands, but there is no way, this is the advantage of the defender, but also the disadvantage of the siege party, "Archer!" What about the archer troops?! Shoot me the arrows and kill the archers on the opposite watchtower! ”
After receiving the leader's order, the archers under Zhou Kai's command opened their bows one after another, the environment they were in was not as comfortable as the archers on the opposite side, the overwhelming stone bullets that smashed over were simply shocking to watch, several rounds of salvos, the arrows had not yet flown to the opposite city wall, and they were smashed down by those dense stone bullets halfway, which made Zhou Kai angry for a while, "Damn! How many slingers did that guy raise? How many stone bullets have you stockpiled?! ”
From the beginning just now, the slingers on the opposite side were a bit strong! There is also this overwhelming rain of stone bullets, Zhou Kai feels that he is about to go crazy, he is afraid that he will not think that at this moment, Zhao Pan, who is commanding the catapult troops on the opposite side, has a gold-level catapult proficient in skills.
Not to mention the number of stone bullets hoarded at the same time, in the first two invasion battles, Luo Ji failed to get the battle he wanted to defend the city, and the stone bullets in that warehouse have been hoarded all the way to the present, and they are hoarding more and more in a few months, counting on them to throw them away in a short time, it is better not to think about it.
